[ MSA ] [ Overview ] [ Readme ] [ Download ] [ Demo ] [ FAQ ] [ In Action ] Overview Countdown allows you to implement a simple countdown to a specific date in your web pages. You can have the countdown accurate to the second, minute, hour, day, month or year. Currently it is not implemented as a Server Side Include and requires that you point to the countdown script as a separate page in order to work, however instructions are available in the Frequently Asked Questions section detailing how to change the script to be implemented as a Server Side Include. There are several downloading options available below and more information on this script can be found in the Readme file.
